It is interesting to note that the Sun and Moon, for this New Moon in Aquarius, are not making any major aspects to any major planets. All of the aspects in this New Moon chart are coming from other aspected planets. The sign that represents the collective, is highlighting energies other than the New Moon itself.
The New Moon is a natural time to quiet yourself and look within. This is an appropriate time to decide how you can impact the collective in a positive way. Aquarius is the sign that promotes ideas for the future and ways to help humanity. This is a great time to ask your guides what is the best way for you to serve in your community and help impact the political issues in your state and the common good.
Fear and anger are at an all time high. The massive governmental machine is daunting. We cannot shrink and hide, but move forward with purpose and energy. Ask yourself, “What can I do to maximize and send peace and love energy into the collective?”
These are the current aspects surrounding this New Moon: Venus in Pisces squares Saturn in Sagittarius. This can feel like a restriction surrounding the things you love. This is not a happy aspect for Venus. As we look all around us we see how big government and big business (Saturn) is overtly encroaching on our cherished values. Venus and Pisces are compatible with love and compassion, but Saturn in Sagittarius doesn’t considers the feelings of others, and focuses on governmental and business structure, self-righteous belief systems, acquiring money, and “my way or the highway” practices.
There is increasing tension between the people and the government in the US and abroad. This is also a part of the continuing energy of Uranus (need for independence) square Pluto (evolution). Fast moving Mercury (communication) conjunct Pluto, triggers this square. This is shakeup breakup time and consistent with Mercury, we are hearing all about it. How it will end up will depend on the cohesiveness of the masses, standing up against corruption and oppression.

PLAN YOUR OWN NEW MOON CEREMONY. Give yourself some quiet time in meditation to see where you need to seed new ways of becoming. List these areas within your life you want to change. What areas do you want to break free from the norm and become more productive and discerning? The NEW MOON is the time to manifest the personal attributes you want to cultivate as well as the tangible things you want to bring to you. Possible phrasing: I now manifest ____ into my life. I am now _______ . Remember, think, envision and feel with as much emotion as possible, as though you already have what you want. Thoughts are things and the brain manifests exactly what you show it in the form of thoughts, visuals and emotions. The Buddha said, and I am paraphrasing, “We are the sum total of our thoughts up to today. ” If we want to be different then we must change our thoughts. “If you always do what you’ve always done then you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” CONSCIOUS CHANGE is the key.
